Kim Kardashian Arrives at Paris Court to Testify in 2016 Armed Robbery Trial

Kim Kardashian has arrived in France to testify at the trial of those suspected of being involved in robbing her at gunpoint in 2016.

On Tuesday, May 11, the SKIMS founder, 44, was spotted going into the Palais de Justice court in Paris, wearing a black blazer and skirt combo with her hair sleeked up into a bun. She wore minimal jewelry for the event — though she notably donned a large diamond ring on her right hand, along with several silver earrings and sunglasses.

Kardashian was joined by her mother Kris Jenner, 69, who opted to wear a patterned black and white suit jacket with her hair sleeked back. She also wore black sunglasses as she headed up the steps of the courthouse behind her daughter.

Kardashian is set to testify in the trial of ten people — dubbed the “Grandpa robbers” by French media due to their older ages and previous criminal history — who are being tried on charges related to the 2016 burglary of The Kardashian’s star, according to the New York Times, NBC News and ABC News. Half of the suspects are considered alleged accomplices.

Police initially arrested 17 suspects in connection with the robbery across the country in January 2017. One of the men later indicted by prosecutors is the younger brother of Kardashian’s Paris chauffeur. One of the suspects on trial, Yunice Abbas, 71, has publicly admitted to his involvement in the crime and recently testified that he regrets the trauma it caused, NBC News reported.

Ahead of the trial, a source told PEOPLE that the reality star was eagerly awaiting her chance to testify against the suspects involved in the 2016 Paris robbery.

“Kim’s a bit nervous, but she always said that she wanted to testify in person,” the insider said. “This is her choice. She was terrified for her life during the robbery. She wants the people involved convicted.”

In October 2016, five armed men broke into Kardashian’s room at the No Address Hotel in Paris, where she was staying while attending the city’s Fashion Week. The reality star was tied up at gunpoint and locked in a bathroom as the thieves stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry in the middle of the night.

Kardashian has said the robbers took two diamond Cartier bracelets, a gold and diamond Jacob necklace, Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings, a gold Rolex and other items during the heist, according to French newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche. A $4 million ring gifted to her by then-husband Kanye West was also among the items stolen.

According to the Times, the stolen jewelry was estimated to be worth nearly $9 million and most of it was never recovered.

A source close to the reality star told PEOPLE in 2016 that she managed to escape after wriggling her hands out of the zip ties. A second source told PEOPLE that Kardashian then “screamed from the balcony” for help.

Kardashian previously shared in Season 13 of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that she believed the perpetrators tracked her via social media, as she had been “Snapchatting” that she had been at “home and that everyone was going out.”

“They ask for money. I said I don’t have any money,” she said. “They dragged me out on to the hallway on top of the stairs. That’s when I saw the gun clear, like clear as day. I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs.”

“I was like; ‘I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision,” she continued. “Am I going to run down the stairs and either be shot in the back? It makes me so upset to think about it. Either they’re going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don’t, if the elevator does not open in time, or the stairs are locked, then like I’m f—–. There’s no way out.”
